Hello, what's up? Finally I can write again after long time I'm away from this blog. Yesterday, I was just re-designed my blog, I also wanted to post something but I have no idea what to post, I just remember now, there are some things that I haven't post yet.

This is my first posting in bilingual; Indonesian and English, since I was using English from the beginning of the post though my English is still messy. Hehe. I decide to make a bilingual post to make my Indonesian readers easily read my blog post and as I am an Indonesian, I have to use my own language more often rather than other languages.

This time, I want to share my DIY that I've made a long time, around 4 months ago. This is my college binder, I use it everyday to take notes from the lecturers. Since I love anything "self-made' and different from others, I try to make my own binder, so that no one can have the same binder like me. :p

This is similar with scrapbook, but it is a bit more simple. As we know, scrapbook is usually thicker and have more decorated things which is sometimes not easy to bring and if we don't storage it well, it will be ruined, even when we bring it everyday inside the bag. Since this binder is used for my daily college activity, then I make it more simple than scrapbook and not too much heavy decorations.I didn't capture the whole steps, but the images below is clear and the steps below is easy to follow, you don't need to worry! So, let's get started...

PS: You can add the decoration as you want, with anything you have around your room. In this DIY, I also use tissue as the decoration for the bookmark. It turns out that tissue also can be used as a decoration. Hehe

1. Measure the cardboard sheets the same with your side of binder size, and you need to cut this four times, then stick with glue one on the front side, one one the back, and two in the inside.

2, Measure also the cardboard sheets the same with the thickness side of the binder, cut and then glue it. Your binder now is covered by the cardboard sheets.

3. It's time to decorate! It is like adding the topping to your cake. It's up to you, but here I'm using floral fabrics as the main topping of my binder. I'm not covering the whole cardboard sheets using the floral fabric, I also use cord for the rest that is not covered by the floral fabric. I glue the cord in side by side as I want. I also add the other decorations such as colorful tape and lace.

4. I also use the colorful tape to cover up the edge of the binder as a border. I fold it inside and outside to make it look neat.

1. Measure a bookmark as you want using the cardboard sheets, but smaller than the paper you will use as the fill of the binder. I suggest you to make it suits to 8 hole if you have 20 rings binder.

2. In one of the top-edge, make the edge longer in 3-5 cm, and 2-3 cm wider down (or "2 hole" wide down if you have 20 rings binder).

3. Trace the holes (reverse the longer edge) using the paper that you will use as the fill in the binder, so that the hole will be neat.

4. Decorate the bookmark as you want!

PS:

- I decorate it different in each bookmarks, so it will look cute!

- If you have 20 rings binder, you will make ten bookmarks based on the size that I suggest above, and the three bookmarks in the very bottom will be cut following the size of the paper since it is too long, cut only the excess.
